A few of other asked about mechanism (18,40%) and desease (18,40%) in circulatory system chapter. Mostly students' response to the level of teacher questions were simultaneous (93.88%), with scientific answer was very low category (39,80%). In basic skills components, teacher mostly used spread with very low category (10%).
